  usual 
  Solidago 
  was 
  S.juncea 
  Ait., 
  common 
  in 
  the 
  cavities 
  and 
  

   crevices 
  of 
  allthe 
  cliffs 
  by 
  the 
  shores 
  about 
  Marquette. 
  They 
  

   are 
  from 
  one 
  to 
  two 
  feet 
  high, 
  and 
  generally 
  have 
  very 
  narrow 
  

   leaves, 
  all 
  entire 
  or 
  nearly 
  so. 
  But 
  the 
  most 
  interesting 
  

   growth 
  in 
  these 
  tiny 
  hollows, 
  sometimes 
  but 
  an 
  inch 
  in 
  di- 
  

   ameter 
  and 
  completely 
  filled 
  with 
  the 
  roots 
  of 
  the 
  plants, 
  

   were 
  the 
  tufts 
  of 
  a 
  small 
  grass, 
  six 
  to 
  eight 
  inches 
  high,

  It 
  was 
  not 
  

   abundant, 
  but 
  in 
  a 
  good 
  condition 
  for 
  collecting 
  the 
  last 
  of 
  

  

  Three 
  other 
  small 
  plants, 
  which 
  I 
  had 
  not 
  seen 
  before, 
  

   were 
  found 
  on 
  these 
  rocks. 
  They 
  grew 
  together 
  in 
  a 
  larger 
  

   hollow 
  filled 
  with 
  water 
  evidently 
  from 
  the 
  rains 
  or 
  from 
  the 
  

   spray 
  of 
  the 
  waves 
  when 
  they 
  ran 
  high.

  the 
  season 
  

   lor 
  the 
  flowers 
  of 
  the 
  last 
  two, 
  and 
  I 
  had 
  to 
  be 
  contented 
  

   Wjith 
  the 
  plants 
  in 
  fruit. 
  None 
  of 
  these 
  are 
  common 
  

   Plants, 
  though 
  widely 
  spread 
  throughout 
  our 
  northern 
  borders 
  

   and 
  beyond, 
  the 
  Scirpus 
  extending 
  further

  and 
  with 
  a 
  

   wider 
  range. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  mountain 
  or 
  sub-alpine 
  plant, 
  mainly 
  

   ound 
  on 
  the 
  mountains 
  in 
  the 
  eastern 
  states, 
  but 
  coming 
  

   more 
  mto 
  the 
  swamps 
  in 
  the 
  region 
  of 
  the 
  lakes. 
  It 
  is 
  rep- 
  

   resented 
  in 
  the

  Roan 
  Mountain, 
  N. 
  C, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  

   vest 
  in 
  the 
  Rockies. 
  The 
  plants 
  are 
  very 
  slender, 
  and 
  the 
  

   run 
  in 
  those 
  found 
  was 
  mostly 
  aborted.
